' DRAWER-PULL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 461,711, dated October20, 1891.

Application filed May 9, 1889. Renewed July 9, 1891- Serial No. 398,962.(No model.)

To all whom, it may concern/.-

Be itknown that I, JAMES PRESTON, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Post for Furniture-Handles, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to cabinet-hardware, the object of the inventionbeing to provide a simple, cheap, and durable post for handles, and onewhich may be rapidly and easily manufactured; and to the end named theinvention consists in a post for furniture-handles consisting in a wirethreaded at its inner end and bent at its outer end to form an eye anda-stop, and a sleeve cast upon the post adjacent to its eye, as will behereinafter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart ofthis specification, in which similar figures and letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a face View of a handle representing the same as it appearswhen supported by my improved post. Fig. 2 isasectional view on line c03 of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a crosssectional view on line y y of Fig. 2.Fig. 4 is a view of a modified form of post, and Fig. 5 is a view of astill further modification.

The post forming the subject-matter of this application consists of asingle length of wire 10, bent to form an eye 11, and a lateralprojection 12, this lateral projection simply extending outward, asshown in Fig. 4, or being bent so as to extend upward, or the projectionbeing longer and bent so as to extend upward, as shown at a in Figs. 1,2, and 3, or downward, as shown at bin Fig. 5. The inner edge of thewire is threaded to engage a retaining-nut 13. The sleeve 14 upon thepost is cast thereon. The eyes 11 are of proper size to receive theprongs 16 of ahandle 20, and the projections 12 serve to prevent saidhandle from striking against and marring the furniture to which thehandle is secured, said projections acting as stops at this time.

Posts constructed as above described may be quickly and easilymanufactured, and being made of Wrought metal will be much stronger andmore durable than the ordinary form of cast posts.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent As an improved article of manufacture, a post forfurniture-handles, consisting in a Wire 10, threaded at its inner endand bent at its outer end to form an eye 11, and a stop 12, and a sleeve14, cast upon the post adjacent to its eye, substantially as set forth.

, JAMES PRESTON.
